We got the great news that our SXSW panel submission was selected by, well, all of you! Thank you. As the analog and digital worlds inch ever closer and closer to becoming nearly indistinguishable from one another, we believe it’s critical to understand how physical context of use informs design patterns for digital experiences. Stimulant’s…
Stimulant had a great time watching folks dance with #dBcube at the EMP Museum during the 2014 Decibel Festival, and are bringing it back to the Seattle Interactive Conference on October 15th and 16th. SIC isn’t really known for dance-offs, but perhaps we can change that! As part of the presentation, Microsoft and Stimulant will…
Stimulant is thrilled to announce the first-ever exhibition of The Cube, a new instrument for digital artwork.

In 2012, Stimulant and Foghorn Creative joined forces to create the Intel Connect to Life Experience for Intel’s booth at the Consumer Electronics Show. The resulting experience helped make Intel one of the most visited and talked about booths at CES. We get asked a ton of questions by prospective clients about how to create…
Eyeo Festival is a three day event that explores art, interaction, information and the way all three interact and overlap. Packed with talks, demos, and labs, the festival’s tagline “Converge to Inspire” perfectly encapsulates the vibe.

On Tuesday, May 7th, Darren David is presenting a session at the Event Marketing Summit in Chicago. “Short and Sweet: The Value of Casual Event Interactions” will highlight how brief connections with event attendees are inherently shallow in their depth and short in their duration — but can build strong bonds if effectively conceived and constructed.…
The IxDA’s Interaction13 Conference theme of social change and innovation probably best manifested itself in the Student Design Challenge sponsored by Intel. This year’s challenge centered around the idea of “Playful Technology.” We were honored that Nathan Moody was asked to be a part of the final jury panel in Toronto! The theme closely aligned with…
If you’re in San Francisco on Thursday, February 28th head on over to The Barrelhouse for an evening of digital marketing trends and cocktails. Hosted by SoDA, the event will look into the trends contained in the upcoming 2013 Digital Marketing Outlook Survey and The SoDA Report. Stimulant’s own Darren David will be on the…
The release of Windows 8 in 2012 prompted a lot of PC manufacturers to start thinking about “touch-first” and natural user interface principles for the masses. Stimulant was lucky enough to be asked to create a fun, expressive, multi-user creativity application for Samsung’s Product Innovation Team (PIT) to be shown at the Samsung booth at…
Foghorn asked us to create the interactive component for Intel’s booth at CES 2012. The result was the Intel Connect to Life Experience, the world’s largest interactive, multi-user, real-time-3D virtual life simulation. Spanning the entirety of Intel’s booth, conference attendees could use any of six custom-made stations around the perimeter of the booth to create…
